Options that matter on site
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Smart activation. Radar, loops, pull cords or interlocks set to the traffic using the door.
- Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Typical scopes of work
- Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Thetford are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Do high-speed doors in Thetford need more servicing than standard doors?
Usually, yes, because they cycle so often. We base the service interval on the cycle counter and the manufacturer's guidance rather than a fixed annual visit, and can set up a planned maintenance schedule.
Can you fit a high-speed door alongside our existing door in Thetford?
Often, yes. A high-speed door can sit inside or outside an existing shutter or sectional door, with the conventional door closed at night. We check the space and fixings on survey.
How much does a high-speed door cost in Thetford?
Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Thetford opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.
